Woo, Stina has popped up on the list *again* - I've said it before (tediously - see http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/1998-month-03/0563.html ), but a Stina Nordenstam list is the only other mailing list I've been tempted to set up (so far resisted: I'd quite like to keep my job... oh go on, someone tempt me). Can't remember if anyone summarised: but her three LPs are: "Memories of a Color" (sic), "And She Closed Her Eyes" and "Dynamite". Buy them all! They sort of go up in ascending order of quirkiness and descending order of sweetness, while all remaining quirky and sweet (yes it's Friday). If you haven't bought any buy the middle one. Caveat: some people will hate her voice. Me, I'm just swimmingly in love. If you want be a party to other Stina rumblings, go to the Sinister WWW pages (below), go to "Search", type in Stina and click both buttons below (search all content, all months). Cheap advert - use the search thing. What else oh evil bunny clones? Debbie (Alan in disguise) Prior wrote:
but napier uni in embra probably has media stuff- its not a big stuck up crappy place like the 'proper' uni. but its still crap.
Hmm, true my office is a bit crap - I can only see the city if I stand on my desk and look out of the windows 6 feet up. HOWEVER - I want you all to kneel and kiss the "proper" University machine, charmingly called "sloth" which I am typing on, which is actually the Sinister machine and woofs for you all like a faithful doggie (except when it screws up and sends you 20 copies of the same mail).

A question - when someone writes something relevant particularly to you, or relating to something you said in a posting, is it etiquette to write to them individually or to post on the list?
I think the only way to answer that, with my sensible trousers on, is to think how many people might like to know, and pray to Sir Cliff - there's 500 people on the list, so just - hmm make sure you might interest a good few. And, nagging mumsy that I am, please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions on the WWW site where I've tried to give a feel, with help from some others, for what people should post and what not. Often lists die through dispersion of content and squabbling - you lot seem mostly to have an uncanny ability to rally round and save the list. That's why I wish to pleasure you all. Besides, I don't feel so bad nagging just now as I've just received the nicest message about the list from my comments page - n, I love you. Whoever it was who told us about sitting outside a pub at the London peekneek and strumming B&S songs and being asked for an autograph: a response from a band member heard recently: "That's a crazy old story about the picnic buskers. They must have been pretty bad to get mistaken for the real thing. :)" Anyone who went to Manchester will know what he means. JOKE! I think I'll go now. My travel agent called Linda can't decide if I'm being driven or trained to Glasgow this evening to the Serge do. I'm standing by the door with my hat and coat on, humming a tune and waiting to be told what to do. Honeybyes xxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
